The Story of Stuff


Hey everybody! I just watched this great documentary called the Story of Stuff about the origins of American Consumerism, and how it effects the planet. Hopefully, you will find it as thought-provoking and entertaining as I did! This video helped remind me why we wanted to run a green company! It's not enough to make money if we make the world a worse place in the process... at least that's how WE see it!
peace,

Baby, Baby, Baby...

Bee Girl Stance by samax. click to enlarge
our daughter Marley will turn one year old in september (9/9/09). we are commemorating the occasion with a birthday party and inviting people over to eat snacks, play games, and watch Marley smash up her birthday cake. i drew this drawing a few weeks ago of my little Bee Girl (the theme of the nursery is bumblebees), and will likely use it for the invitations and keepsakes from the party.

Play Nice, Ladies...

while we're getting our act together here at RockPaperSoul, i figure it'd be cool to share stuff that might help people out! my friend Cal Slayton did the cover artwork for this book The Alternative Bride's Guide to Wedding Games by Kathryn Calhoun, which has tons of games for receptions, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, gift-opening brunches, and more! This book also includes 175 wedding trivia questions, 50 photocopiable pages of game cards and quizzes, plus dozens of bonus ideas and game variations so you can truly put a personal touch on your big day!
love, peace, etc

Coming Soon...

When my wife Charlene and I decided to get married, we weren't really able to find wedding invitations and favors that we felt were targeted to us. searching left us tired and frustrated. We were lucky that I had the illustration skills to create our own favors, thank you cards, etc that reflected our style, but we knew other people like us might not be so lucky, so we've decided to start a business together, and we want you along with us. we have decided WHAT we want to do, and WHO we want to do it for... the next step is deciding HOW we're going to do it! my wife is a professional researcher, so i expect we'll get it all figured out in no time flat! in the meantime, please subscribe to this blog's updates in whatever way you like, i'll keep you posted on our progress! and we welcome all kinds of feedback, whether comments, or email (use our cell numbers if you've got 'em!), or whatever as we hammer out our business plan!
love, peace, etc.
